On average, 4.5% of all our GP and Nurse routine appointments are not attended by the patient. Over the course of a year this amounts to a lot of wasted appointments and contributes greatly to waiting times to see your GP or Nurse.

The table below shows the number of non-attended appointments for the current year, see below the table for the previous 5 years totals.
